It all depends on your definition of "safely". There is a fixed inherent risk to such operations. If the ports you installed locally all used default options there is relatively little chance of disruption. If you used custom options there could be problems or missing functionality. Apart from that pkg upgrade itself usually does the right thing and should not be causing problems itself. -- Guido Falsi
